32-bit operating system compatibility is provided for legacy server installations only. For new server installations, use computers that are running a suitable 64-bit operating system (see 64-Bit).
Small ClearSCADA systems can be installed on computers using the following operating systems:
Server Hardware
- None
Desktop Hardware
Desktop class hardware is only suitable for small stand-alone client-server systems that are not intended to provide access to the database from either WebX or ClearSCADA Mobile.
- Windows 10 (Professional and Enterprise editions, versions that are supported by Microsoft)
(ClearSCADA is tested against the latest version of Windows 10 at the point of its release) - Windows 8.1 (Professional and Enterprise editions)
- Windows 7 (Professional and Ultimate editions) - Service Pack 1.
ATTENTION: Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 should not be used for servers with more than two clients. This is because the TCP/IP security measures in these operating systems can cause significant delays.
If you intend to provide access to the database from ClearSCADA Mobile, use server class computers with 64-bit operating systems.
To run WebX, the WebX server and ClearSCADA server computers have to run on server class hardware with 64-bit operating systems. WebX client computers can use a 32- or 64-bit operating system. The WebX client computers also require the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer 11 (see Web Browser Support). Other browsers are not supported.
(To run only the Original WebX client, the server machines should use a 64-bit operating system (32-bit operating system compatibility is provided for legacy server installations only). Original WebX client computers can use a 32- or 64-bit operating system. The Original WebX client computers also require the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer 11.)
